Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for the transfer of packet data from a transmitting party over a transfer network to a receiving party on the basis of the destination address.
- the data packet In the transfer of packet data, the data packet usually contains not only the user data to be transferred but also overhead data, such as the identification (address) of the receiving party, on the basis of which the transfer network is able to route the data packet to its destination.
- standard addresses used in data communication systems are relatively long so that they require packet transfer capacity which otherwise could be utilized for the transfer of user data. This problem is further aggravated when very short data packets have to be used e.g. due to the characteristics of the transmission channel. In such very short data packets, standard addresses would use almost all of the packet transfer capacity. In the worst case, the transfer capacity of the data packet is not sufficient to accommodate the address.
- each data packet in a normal packet data transfer should contain address data in order that the system could identify and route the packets, especially in cases where there are several subscribers transmitting packet data simultaneously on the same channel.
- EP-A-0332818 discloses a packet-switched cellular system comprising a cellular switch and base sites for providing packet-switched data services to cellular mobile stations.
- Base sites are coupled to the cellular switch by T1 span lines which are coupled to the landline telephone network. All the slots in the span lines are clear channels containing no trunk signalling information, one time slot in each direction being dedicated for common channel signalling. Multiple data calls are assigned to each packet-mode radio channel to conserve the radio channel spectrum.
- EP-A-0522636 discloses a TDMA communication system in which data packets are transmitted with lengths essentially corresponding to the lengths of the time slots of the common communication channel so that more information can be transmitted per data packet.
- the object of the invention is a packet data transfer method which alleviates the above problem and utilizes the available transfer capacity more efficiently than the prior art methods.
- One concept of the invention is a method for the transfer of packet data from a transmitting party over a transfer network to a receiving party.
- the method according to the invention is characterized in that the transmitting party sends the destination address data to the transfer network only once for each transfer transaction; the transfer network allocates the transmitting party a service number at the beginning of the transfer transaction so as to identify the transmitting party and the destination address, the service number being shorter than the destination address; the transmitting party utilizes the allocated service number in place of the destination address in the data packets sent during the transfer transaction; and the transfer network identifies the data packets sent by the transmitting party on the basis of the service number and forwards the data packets on the basis of the destination address associated with said service number.
- Another concept of the invention is a mobile station for a cellular radio system comprising at least one base station communicating with mobile stations residing in the cell, the mobile station being characterised by means for sending user data in packet format to the base station in which the first data packet(s) sent by the mobile station to the base station at the beginning of each transfer transaction contain(s) the entire destination address of the receiving party while subsequent data packets sent during the same transfer transaction contain a service number in place of the entire destination address, the service number identifying the transmitting party and being shorter than the destination address.
- the transmitting party sends a transfer request over the transfer network.
- the transfer network allocates a service number to the transmitting party if allowed by the traffic load.
- the service number identifies the transmitting party for a predetermined period of time, referred to as a validity period.
- the transfer network preferably starts a timer which monitors the validity period of the service number.
- the transmitting party sends the address of the receiving party, referred to as a destination address, over the transfer network only once during the validity period of the service number.
- the transfer network associates the destination address with the service number allocated to the transmitting party.
- the transmitting party uses merely the service number as "a destination address" in the transmitted data packets, and the transfer network routes the data packets to the receiving party on the basis of the service number included in each data packet.
- the service number is essentially shorter and requires less transfer capacity of the packet than the standard address. Consequently, most of the transfer capacity of the data packet can be used for the transfer of user data. The transfer capacity of the system can thus be utilized more efficiently than in prior art systems in which the destination address is transferred in each data packet.
- the transfer network allocates the service number to the transmitting party only for a predetermined period of time, the network is able to control the traffic load in the system and the distribution of the transfer capacity between different subscribers.
- a particularly advantageous application of the present invention is a packet data transfer on a random access control channel of a cellular radio system.
- the method according to the present invention is suitable for use in any packet data transfer system to improve the utilization of the transfer capacity. It is especially efficient when applied in systems where short data packets have to be used for some reason.
- a preferred application of the method according to the invention is packet data transfer on control channels in analog and the digital cellular radio systems.
- the method is particularly advantageous when applied in the Pan-European digital TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) mobile radio system GSM and other similar digital systems, such as DCS1800 and PCN (Personal Communication Network).
- GSM Pan-European digital TDMA
- DCS1800 and PCN Personal Communication Network
- FIG. 1 shows schematically a portion of a GSM cellular radio system.
- the area covered by the system is divided into radio cells.
- Two base station controllers BSC1 and BSC2 are connected by digital transmission links 12 to a mobile exchange MSC.
- base stations BTS1, BTS2 and BTS3, BTS4 are connected by digital transmission links 11 to the base station controllers BSC1 and BSC2, respectively.
- Each BSC and the base stations controlled by it form a base station system BSS.
- the radio coverage area of a single base station BTS typically forms a single radio cell.
- Each base station BTS1 to BTS4 has a predetermined fixed number of physical radio channels. The configuration and properties of the GSM system are described in greater detail in the GSM specifications.
- a signal (physical channel) consists of TDMA frames each comprising a number of time slots (eight time slots in GSM) in which logical channels are transferred.
- Logical channels comprise traffic channels for calls to be set up with mobile radio stations MS residing in the cell, and control channels for signalling with mobile radio stations MS residing in the cell.
- one superframe comprises 51 or 26 TDMA frames.
- Figure 2 illustrates different kinds of control channel superframes used over the radio path in the transmission direction (downlink) from the base station BTS to the mobile radio station MS (such as a mobile telephone) and in the reverse direction (uplink) from the mobile radio station MS to the base station BTS.
- Logical channels essential for the invention include Common Control Channels CCCH.
- the fixed network pages a mobile station MS in order to alarm the MS to contact the network.
- the MSC commands the base station system BSS to send a page on a Paging channel PCH, which is one of the CCCH channels.
- PCH Paging channel
- the mobile station MS receives a page or wants to initiate a call, it sends a connection request on a Random Access Channel RACH, which is also one of the CCCH channels.
- RACH Random Access Channel
- the base station system BSS sends a channel assignment on an Access Grant Channel AGCH.
- FIG 3 illustrates messages transferred over the radio path when the base station system BSS pages a mobile subscriber station MS.
- the BSS pages the mobile station MS by sending a Paging Request message on the PCH.
- the mobile station MS requests a signalling channel by sending a Channel Request message on the RACH.
- the base station system BSS which is not aware that the current connection request is associated with the previously transmitted Paging Request message, allocates a signalling channel (SDCCH) for the mobile station MS by sending an Immediate Assignment message on the AGCH.
- SDCCH signalling channel
- the mobile station transmits on this channel a Paging Response message, which is forwarded to a VLR controlling the paging procedure.
- the VLR establishes a radio connection and then transfers the call control to the MSC.
- the connection set-up initiated by the mobile station MS is such as shown, the only difference being that the MS sends a page without the impulse given by the Paging Request message.
- the BSS is not able to distinguish between Channel Request messages sent for different reasons but always responds to them in the same way.
- the broadcast nature of the above-described paging messages and the random access nature of the channel request messages are utilized by implementing a packet transfer solution in parallel therewith.
- the inventive packet transfer does not require any call setup and is compatible with the original service so that the mobile stations already existing in the cellular system will not be aware of this new facility.
- the invention embodies a user data transfer concept in which addressed data can be transferred in a single packet (TDMA time slot) without any related connection establishment.
- the mobile radio station MS transmits data in packet format on the RACH in Packet Data Channel Request messages.
- the base station system BSS acknowledges the successful receipt of the Packet Data Channel Request message by sending a Packet Data Paging Request message on the PCH.
- the base station In the standard connection establishment the base station detects the time of reception of the random access burst Channel Request. On the basis of the time of reception the base station determines a timing advance value which is sent to the mobile station in the Immediate Assignment message so that any subsequent signalling on the SDCCH will take place with a proper timing allowing the use of a normal burst.
- the mobile station MS which wants to transmit packet data sends a Packet Data Channel Request message, which indicates the packet transfer requested.
- the Channel Request message may be a conventional random access burst, in which e.g. an ESTABL.CAUSE field is used to distinguish a burst requesting a packet transfer from a random access burst requesting a standard connection establishment.
- the ESTABL.CAUSE field may be e.g such as shown in Figure 6, where the first three bits are "001" and the remaining bits consist of a standard random number included in the burst.
- the base station system BSS detects the timing of the Packet Data Channel Request burst received on the RACH; determines the correct timing on the basis thereof; and grants access for the packet transfer by sending the Packet Data Immediate Assignment message on the AGCH if allowed by the traffic load of the control channel or the system.
- the Packet Data Immediate Assignment message in which the base station system BSS sends a grant for a packet data transfer to the mobile station MS, may be e.g. an Immediate Assignment message, the message type field of which (cf.
- Figure 4 is set to a value "00111101" to indicate the transfer of packet data.
- the channel type field of the channel information element shown in Figure 7 is set e.g. to a value "10001" to indicate that the MS should subsequently stay on the RACH.
- the message contains at least timing advance information which will be utilized by the mobile station MS in the subsequent transmission transactions on the RACH for synchronization with the operation of the base station. Due to the correct timing advance the mobile station will subsequently be able to use a normal burst for the packet transfer on the RACH. The normal burst is longer than the random access burst and it has more capacity for user data.
- the Packet Data Immediate Assignment message may also contain a limited authorization to load the system by packet transfer.
- the limited authorization transmission grant
- the limited authorization may be e.g. for a predetermined period of time and/or it may limit the number of packets to be transferred in a time unit.
- the fixed network should be able to distinguish between the data packets of deliveries from different mobile stations MS.
- the address of the receiving party (the destination address) should therefore appear from the packet to be transferred.
- the standard addresses used in the cellular radio system and other telecommunication systems are very long so that it is uneconomical to transfer the address of the receiving party in each message if the transfer capacity of the system is to be utilized optimally for the transfer of user data.
- a normal burst to be transferred on the RACH may be even too short for the transfer of address information in a single burst in addition to user data.
- the fixed network allocates the MS a service number SN which identifies the transmitting MS.
- the fixed network starts a timer 1 which is used to assign a specific service number to a specific MS for a predetermined period of time (a validity period). After the expiry of the time set for the timer the fixed network can allocate the same service number SN to another mobile station MS.
- the Packet Data Immediate Assignment message in which the base station BTS sends the mobile station MS a packet data transfer grant, also contains a new information element in which the service number is transferred to the mobile station MS.
- This information element may contain e.g. 8 bits of which four bits indicate the service number and three bits indicate the frame number.
- the service number is a 4-bit field and may give 16 different service numbers.
- the service number 0000 is interpreted as a negative response. In other words, if all service numbers are reserved, and the MS cannot be allocated a service number SN, the service number field is set to a state 0000.
- the MS when the MS receives from the AGCH a Packet Data Immediate Assignment message, the MS starts a timer 2 so as to follow the lapse of the validity period of the service number SN assigned to it.
- the time may be set to e.g. 10 seconds. If the MS still wants to send packet data after the expiry of the timer 2, it has to request a new service number SN from the fixed network in a manner described above.
- the MS transfers packet data on the RACH in so-called standard Packet Data messages, shown in Figures 8A to 8D, in place of the random access bursts.
- the destination address of the data transfer should also be transmitted over the radio path. Two alternative ways of solving this problem will be described below.
- the fixed network preferably responds to each packet by sending a Packet Data Paging Request message as an acknowledgement message to the mobile station MS on the PCH after each received data packet.
- the format of the packet acknowledgement message is nearly identical to the message described in connection with Figure 4.
- the message type is changed to a value 00100110 and the length of the data area is reduced to 39 bits.
- WO94/05095 gives a more detailed description of the configuration of the mobile station and the base station system and the packet transfer therebetween.
